There s a new game in town basketball! Or in Ellray s case, pre-basketball. Coach Havens has all the third graders dribbling, passing, and shooting, and he s quick to compliment EllRay s skills. No one else seems to notice them, however, and as the shortest kid in the class, EllRay is still chosen last for teams at recess. What s a short guy gotta do to get noticed? When EllRay comes up with a plan that involves the off-limits teacher s lounge, everyone does a double take!
